We have one SFR (our previous home) and we do our own version of house hacking by renting our downstairs MIL suite to two of our adult children.

He mentioned that he often experienced regret at skipping this period of his life and going directly into an adult occupation at 17.Work will always be there, and many of us will work 30 to 50 years of our lives. 

@Kevin Rea I’ll tell you one thing, recently my girlfriend moved from San Jose, CA, to Northern Kentucky (where I was born and raised) and she can NOT get mad at paying less than $780 a month for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with me as opposed to $1,000 a month sharing 1 bathroom with 3 other female roommates in a townhome. ($1,000 was for her room rent ALONE I couldn’t imagine how rich the home owner was) I’ll tell you one thing though, as great as basements are for storage they are a ticking time-bomb for foundation issues.

I feel like I’ve stumbled into the secret garden, or an amusement park for adults who buy, sell and trade real estate, services, knowledge and so much more.

Don't drive a $600/month car riding around with $500 in your bank account...However, I have used credit cards like its a checking account my whole adult life and It has worked very well for me both in my personal and business life.

I just saw an article this morning that we have a record number of adult children still living with their parents, more than ever before.

You may also take a QuickBooks class from an adult school.

I have played the real estate game for over 35 years, I used to tell people I have my kids with me is that ok or I can not meet with you unless my kids can come, never turned down by the way, closings, bank meetings, government offices ect. it was a great education watching adults interact.

He described his typical day to be like as follows: "Let's break it down by pants time. 7am - noon: pajamas, workingNoon-3pm: ski pants, skiing 3-9pm: jeans, adulting (work, shopping, walk dogs, date, etc."

Put pad locks on crawl space access doors or else copper pipe and wiring can get away.Also the locks on attic doors and crawl spaces will keep curious children from playing in those off limit areas, as well as adults who don't have a need to be in there.
